Reinhard Heydrich (7 March 1904-4 June 1942) was the Deputy Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia from 29 September 1941 to 4 June 1942, succeeding Konstantin von Neurath and preceding Kurt Daluege.

Biography
Heydrich joined the SS in 1932 and, thanks to Heinrich Himmler's support, enjoyed a meteoric rise. He was a dedicated Nazi and attended the Wannsee Conference of January 1942, where he was given the job of implementing the Final Solution. He was ambushed in Prague in late May by Czech resistance fighters and died from his wounds. It is believed that Heydrich was being considered as Hitler's successor.
